Everything practical in one place: what to bring to a first visit, how coverage and referrals are verified, how to request records, and how to prepare for each of the six in-office studies — because preparation genuinely differs by study and getting it wrong wastes the appointment.

EMG and nerve conduction: no fasting and no sedation, so eat normally, take your usual medications and drive yourself home. Avoid lotions and oils on the skin. Disclose blood thinners, a bleeding disorder, or an implanted cardiac or neurostimulation device.
EEG and ambulatory EEG: wash your hair beforehand and use no conditioner, oil, gel, spray or dry shampoo. Mention braids, extensions or a hairpiece when booking. Ambulatory EEG needs two visits at the same office, days apart, and you cannot wash your hair in between.
VNG balance testing: a driver is required, not advisory, because parts of the study deliberately provoke vertigo. No eye makeup, remove contact lenses and bring glasses, eat lightly, and follow any medication withholding instruction exactly — it usually begins days beforehand.
Transcranial Doppler: avoid coffee, tea, energy drinks and nicotine for a few hours beforehand, since they alter cerebral blood flow measurably. No radiation, no injection, no recovery period. Evoked potentials: bring the glasses you use for distance, and disclose hearing loss, hearing aids or ear surgery.

Study-specific preparation sits with each study: EMG and nerve conduction, ambulatory EEG, and VNG balance testing, with the rest on the diagnostic testing hub.
Test preparation follows standards published by the AANEM; condition background is drawn from NINDS and clinical guidance from the American Academy of Neurology.
